10 Worst Presidents?
Got a hold of a recent copy of US News & World Reports last night and they had an interesting article on the 10 Worst Presidents in US History. I have always felt that rankings like these, whether they have a “liberal” bias or not, tend to give undue weight to those who accrue power to the executive branch and expand the power of the federal government.
This survey is no different as presidents were ranked (positively) according to their doing the most “progressive” things during their time in office. My list looks quite a bit different: in no particular order Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ, and Nixon are among my candidates for worst president for their roles in massive expansion of government.
